I did it! Becoming an entrepreneur
It was a decision which took quite some time. I have been "standing at the ticket booth" waiting for my turn... And it finally came!
I am now officially a tech entrepreneur. I launched a new tech startup that will explore new bold ideas especially in mobile development and real time web applications.
A new chapter, after 10 years
I have been living in Saudi Arabia for the past 10 years.
For me, it was a great experience and I deeply loved the country and its people. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia didn't allow business activities for expatriates (unless you have large amount of cash) and the fact that I might find myself expelled from the country due to a change in the labor laws or to a change in the mood of my sponsor forced me to take the bitter decision.
I left Saudi Arabia and went back to Lebanon.
Yes, you read it right! Lebanon!
Everybody is calling me crazy. Lebanon is a small country with enough political, social and economical problems to make any sane person flee away.
Yet, entrepreneurs are insane!
Cutting the rope
Going back to Lebanon was not the only crazy decision I took! I also decided to "cut the rope" that was holding my ship at the harbor.
I resigned from my high salary job, requested a "final exit visa" and just left!
Now what?
Soon, I will update my blog with more stories about this new trip.
Wish me good luck.
